Basketball talk Is all the candy
these days, slnco Friday's games be
tween Klamath County High School
and Merrill High. Tho way the local
boys and girls played was a revela
tion to many, and they predict a fast
pair of teams this season for the high
school.
A ramo haa Just been arranced for
iThiimdnv nleht between tho hlvh
school and an alumni team. The
alumni will be a strong aggregation,
as there la much talent to select from,

played with fast high school or col

the high school. A game will be play
ed after the holidays.
The Klamath Athletic Club is also
getting up a team which promises to

here shortly before noon, and Sheriff
Low and Deputy Sheriff Lloyd Low
Immediately went to the scene, re
turning with the parties involved r
Many conflicting tales were heard re
garding the affair, but as told tbe
officers, the story appears to be some
what as follews:
During the trial of Lawrence here
last week, Mrs. Kuehne and her son
moved to a little house on the disput
ed land, a tract on which Lawrence
also has a home, which he recently
leased to tbe Hunters. The Hunters
say the Kuehnes cut off the water
supply to the house, necessitating the
hauling of water some distance.
Hunter was going for water with a
team this morning, and encountered
sevoral "no trespassing" notices tbat
had been posted by young Kuehne. At
the gate near tbe house taken by the
Kuehnes, young Kuehne opened fire
on Hunter as tne tatter started to
open the gate, the bullet piercing his
forearm and lodging near the elbow.
Hunter says he turned his team and
Kuehnes to Merrill, and returned
Inter for the Hunters and Lawrence.
Mrs. Kuehne'8 dying statement was
tbat Lawrence had shot her, and that
he came out of the house, took her
shotgun away from her and struck
jher on the head, saying: "I told you
I'd get you."
' J. M. Holman and Henry Stout.
who met Patterson and Durham on
their way back to Merrill, went to the
scene of the trouble, and they were
told by Mrs. Hunter that she, not
Lawrence, shot Mrs. Kuhrxe. Mrs.
Hunter told these men tbat Mrs.
Kuehne had her gun pointed at her
through a window when she shot.
The Hunters have four small chil
dren. They but recently rented the
place, afterMlving around Merrill for
two years. All are under surveillance
today.
Six guns were taken from the two
houses occupied by the Kuehnes and
tbe Hunters and Lawrence after the
shooting. Young Kuehne ceased. fir
ing when his mother was wounded,
and carried her to the Kuehne cabin
until the doctor's arrival.

SALONIKA, Dec 20. According
to advises Just received from the, la-..
terior, Bulgarian soldiers raided aad
looted an American Red Cross relief
station at Monastlr, trampled on an i;
American flag, and attacked those in
charge of the station.
Mrs. Walter Farwell, a Chicago so
ciety leader and correspondent, was
roughly bandied by the soldiers. Dr.
Harry Forbes, Red Cross physician,
was also attacked, and all the attaches
are now virtually prisoners.
The Bulgarians seised all the stores'
donated by Americans for the relief
of thu Serbian refugees, say these re
ports. After forcibly- taking these
provisions, the Bulgers dlstribated'
parts to the commissaries of the dlf-' '
fercnt commands, and then stationed
bentrles around the supply depot. '
Repeated demands have been made
on Dr. Forbes for the flour he had far. -
dii trlbutlon to the starving refugees.
He refused repeatedly to give "or sell
this to the soldiers. , 1 '
A f nal demand waa made yesterday
by the Bulgarian troops. "Dr. Forbes
again refused to part with the floar,
and the soldiers, attacked Forbes, oae
of them knocking him selselese with a
blow on the head with tbe butt of a
sword.
Mrs, Farwell attempted to take a
picture of the occurrence. Her cam
era was seized and smashed, and she c
was made a prisoner.
The American flag flying over the
Red Cross depot was torn down by an
officer.
"That rag is' only good enough to
scare Mexicans; Bulgarians are not
afraid of it," he Is, alleged to have
said.
